James Jordan has revealed that he had a “big old bust-up” with Gemma Collins on Dancing On Ice because she was “in the wrong”.
The former Strictly Come Dancing professional, who is impressing weekly with his skating skills, told Best magazine that he had a ding-dong with Collins about something on the show.
However, Jordan – who was known for his fiery personality on Strictly from 2006 to 2013 – praised the TOWIE star for apologising after and went on to lavish her with compliments.
“Gemma and I had a big old bust-up the other day - I felt she was in the wrong about something,” he told the publication.
He continued: “She said, 'You know what? You're right.' And she apologised to everyone concerned. That takes humility. What can I say... she gets carried away when she's upset.”
Jordan, who is married to fellow dancer Ola, then added that the star looked “stunning” at the National Television Awards last week.
His comments come weeks after Collins’ on-air spat with Jason Gardiner where she blasted the Australian judge for “selling stories on her”.
During Collins’ training VT, she had admitted that she hadn’t been able to train as much as she would have liked because she had “been upset during the week”.
And the 37-year-old launched into a scalding rant against Gardiner when he criticised her skate, blaming him for making her sad with “his stories”.
In retaliation, Gardiner called Collins a “brat” and later reportedly threatened to “sue her” for her claims on the show. He has also been liking tweets branding her recent fall on ice as “karma”.
Dancing On Ice continues Sunday at 6pm on ITV.
